MOIlE Ot'TUE MESSAGE.
In his message President Cleveland speaks
at follows with reference to the Davy de
partment :
The report of the secretary o! the nnvy
contains a history of the operations of his
department during the past year and exhibits
a most gratifying condition of the personnel
of our navy, lie presents a satisfactory
account of the progress which has teen
made in the construction ot vessels and
makes a number of recommendations, to
which attention is especially Invited. Var
Ing the past six months the demands tor
cruising vessels lieve be:n many and urger.t
There have beta revolutions calling for
vessel, to protect American interests in
"'Nihragua, Guatemala, Costa Klca, Hon
ours Argentine and Brazil, while the
condition of affairs in Honolulu has requir
ed the constant presence of one or more
ships. Witn all these calls upon our navy
ft became necessary, in order to make up a
&ufll:ient tleet to ' patrol -the Behrlng saa
under the moJus vlvcndi agreed upon with
Great Britain, to detiitl to that service one
vessel from the fish commission and three
from the revenue marine.
Progress in the construction of nc ves
sels has not been as rapid as was aiticifut
ed. TJiere have been delays in the com
pletion of unarmored vessels, but for tire
most part they have been such as are
constantly occurring even In countries
having the largest experience in naval ship
building. The most serious delays,
however, have been in the work upon
armored ships. The trouble has been the
faiiure of contrictors to deliver the armor
as agreed. The diliicuitiej seem now
however, to have been all overcome, a.id
armor Is being delivered with satisfactory
promptness.
As a result of the experience acquired by
shipbuilders and designers and material
men, It is believed that the dates whe
vessels will be completed can now he esti
mated with reasonable accuracy. Great
guns, rapid-firing guns, tornedoes and
powder are being promptly supplied.
1 he following vessels ol the new navy
have been completed and are row rciidy for
service:
Ihe double turreed coast defense mon-
itor Multnomah, the double turreted coast'
defense monitor Monterey, the aimored
cruiser New York, the protected cruisrrs
Baltimore, Chicago, Philadelphia, .Newark
Sin Francisco. Charleston, Atlanta and
Byston, the cruiser Detroit, the gunboat
Yorktown, Concord, Bennington, Machias
Castlne and Petrel, the dispatch vesse
Dolphin, the practice vessel Bancroft, and
the dynamite gunboat Vesuvius. Of these
the Bancroft, Machias, Detroit and Castine
lave been placed in commission during the
current calendar year.
The following vessels are n progress of
c instruction: The first-class battleship
Maine and Texas, the cruisers Montgomery
and Maiblehead, and the coast defense
monitors Tenor, Puritan, Amphitrite and
Monadnock, all uf which will be complet
c I within a year; the harbor defense ram
Katahdan, the protected cruisers Columbia!
Minneapolis, Oiympia, Cincinnati and
Raleigh all of which will be completed
prior to July I, IS95; the first class battle
ships Iowa, Indiana, Massachusetts and
Oregon, which will be completed February
1, 1806; and the armored cruiser Brooklyn,
which will be completed by August of that
year. It is also expected that the three
gunboats authorized by the last congress
will be completed in lest than two years.
Since 1SS6, congress has at eacl. session
authorized the building of one or more
vessels, and the secretary of the navy
presents an earnest plea for the continnance
of this plan. He recommends the authori
zation of at least one battleship and six
torpedo boats. While I am distinctly In
favor cf consistently pursuing the policy we
have inaugurated of buil ling up a thorough
and eflijent navy, I cannot refrain from the
suggestion that congress should carefully
take into account the number of unfinished
vessels on our hands and the depleted con
dition of our treasury In considering the
propriety of an appropriation at this time to
begin new work.
The method of employing mechanical
labor at navy yards through boards of labor
and making efficiency the sole test by which
laborers are employed and continued, is
producing the best results, and the secretary
is earnestly devoting himself to its develop
m:nt. Attention Is invited to the statements
of his report In regard to the workings of
the system.
r'IBST KOKTIKV, THEN CRITICISE.
The Salem Jowital says:
The otherwise excellent style of l'reident
Cleveland messfiee is marred by the un
fortunate use of the Toiled States In the
plural number. He says, "The United
States are,' when he should sav "the
Lnited States In." lie speaks of our
country as a confederacy of separate stales,
which is as highly improper as though the
queen 01 ivngiand snould say, 11 1 lie uni
ted kingdoms of Great Britain are." The
queen always speaks of Great Bii'ain In
the singular number. Our country is a
nation. It is not a confederacy. Jt Is dis
respectful to tlie sacrifices of the men of
1770, the men of 1012, tire men of 1860-65,
ho on the field of battle destroyed the
colonial dependencies, the confederacy,
and states rights forever.
As usual, federalists, when speaking of
the constitution put their feet into It. The
president is right when speaking of the
L'nlted Slates 10 refer to them In the plu
ral number, lie has the best authcihy in
the world for doing so. We mean the
written constitution of the country Itself.
e findithe following In sectien 9 Art 1 of
that instrument:
No title of nobility rhall be Granted bv
me t nrm atjies; una no person lloioini'
y uilice of profit or trust under feii si at
without the consent Of congress "etc".
In section 2 article three we find the follow
ing:
ine judicial power shall extend to nil
cases in law and equity, arising under this
constitution the laws of the United States,
ana ne-iles made under Mar aathortv',ctc1
In section 3 article thrc we find the follow
ing!
"Ireaton against I he lnited Stales shall
consist only in lev ing war against tie; etc
It is nothing new to use the United S'.ttc5
in the plural. Xc, the president Is right in
using plural verbs when the nominative is
plural. Who cares a picayune what style
of expression the queen usc3 about her
dominions? We aro Americans, and our
fresh contsmporary should be.trin mind that
the constitution of the United States w:as
the icbuU of an eight years war with the
Kingdom over which queen Victoria now
reigns, and your true American has no dc
' ire to pattern after her mijesty in such
matters as that of which Ihi Journal treats.
The spates have just the same rights now as
they had before the war except the power
'o recognize property In slaves and to
make distinction In personal rights 0.1
count of color or previous condition
servitude. That's all.
